Los Juegos del hambre / The Hunger Games

El mundo está observando. Ganar significa fama y riqueza. Perder significa una muerte segura.

¡Que empiecen los septuagésimo cuartos juegos del hambre!

En una oscura versión del futuro próximo, doce chicos y doce chicas se ven obligados a participar en un reality show llamado Los Juegos del Hambre. Solo hay una regla: matar o morir.

Cuando Katniss Everdeen, una joven de dieciséis años se presenta voluntaria para ocupar el lugar de su hermana en los juegos, lo entiende como una condena a muerte. Sin embargo, Katniss ya ha visto la muerte de cerca y la supervivencia forma parte de su naturaleza.

DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH

The first novel in the worldwide bestselling series by Suzanne Collins!

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. 

Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, “The Hunger Games,” a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.
